South: A Story of Kindness and an Unlikely Friendship

Earlier this year, we discovered the sweetest picture book about friendship. We read it aloud so many times that I memorized it quickly. And then, at some point, it got lost under a pile of books in a basket… until this week.

The book is called Southby Daniel Duncan, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

South: A Story of Kindness and an Unlikely Friendship

Southis a sweet story of kindness

Written by Daniel Duncan, Southis a heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship between a lonely fisherman and a little bird. While out at sea alone, a fisherman hears a noise and discovered an injured bird on the deck of his ship. The fisherman cares for the bird, bandaging its injured wing. As the bird heals, the fisherman realizes that the boat’s path is heading farther from the little bird’s home and family. With winter – and migration- approaching, the fisherman decides to change the ship’s course to head south. The book ends with a bittersweet goodbye and a lasting message about friendship.

I love when I find a good book about friendship, and this is definitely a keeper! This one of those books at pulls at your heartstrings. I am so happy to have discovered Southand I foresee more memories of snuggling before bed with this one!
